Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay came to the rescue for this UK school after the manager had to find help in the cafeteria kitchen after two of the employees called in sick.
Ramsay answered kitchen manager Tina Clarke’s cry for help when she was suddenly left alone to prep food for hundreds of students.
Ramsay is known to be less polite in his TV shows like Master Chef and Hell’s Kitchen; however, while giving an interview on BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, an exasperated Clarke called in and asked for Ramsay’s help.
He said he was glad to help.
Gordon Ramsay Decides to Help Out a Struggling School Cafeteria Kitchen Manager
Clarke, half-jokingly, said that she’s cooking on her own at the school kitchen because the chef has gone off sick and another chef is with Covid so she was curious if Gordon would like to help her out today after his interview.
Though Ramsay said he wasn’t available, he offered to send one of his chefs to the school. Clarke said she didn’t expect to hear this when she phoned the radio show.
When she received a message “your chef will be with you in an hour”, she thought, “oh, my God. I’m going to have to fess up to the teacher and hope she doesn’t give me detention!”
Ramsay sent Rob Roy Cameron with a cab from Lucky Cat’s in London and Clarke instructed him to prep the cauliflower cheese for the students.
Clarke said he must’ve been terrified by the three menopausal women who were with him in the kitchen the entire day!
School Publicly Thanks Ramsay & Cameron for their Act of Kindness
The school thanked both chefs on their social media and through recorded messages as well. One of them was played for Ramsay on The One Show the day after and Clarke was saying to Ramsay: “It sent a huge buzz around the school. So, thank you.”
Ramsay responded with “Anytime, Tina”.
The hosts on BBC didn’t forget to remind Ramsay to be cautious or the school may ask for more assistance soon!
